Hardware Do you guys prefer AGB (original) or SP form factor?

[Tom Bombadildo]

You've been doing the stock non backlit OG?

Thats gotta stink, the screen part. but I hear the non backlit is the best for outdoors

Well I don't actually use my OG GBA these days, if I want to play a GBA game I'll just emulate it on one of my other various handhelds, but whenever I get around to upgrading the screen in my OG I'll probably actually use it more

definitely the SP, i just love the clam-shell design, and my hand just melt into the console, on the original GBA my hands get sore after a couple of play hours.

I'd prefer the SP for one reason. The clamshell design. Yeah, the modded regulars look phenomenal, but I'd prefer to have some way of keeping the screen guarded while moving it around.

what about a screen protector

I'd have one on, either way. If I were to go original, I'd be buying a modded one with a glass screen. :v

I love the og gba. I backlit it a while ago. I had an sp for a LONG time, but sold it. I also got a gba micro. It was cute, but totally unusable to me. It was hard too see and uncomfortable to hold. Sold it too.

welp I'll just get this out of the way, I think the SP is kinda ugly. Like it's very functional obviously but it doesn't look very nice, so OG everyday. That's why I finally got an AGB, It's beautiful and its beside me rn

SP (001) - first console I chose myself = the best, not to mention the prestige factor when the headphone jack memes started

To date I'm still pissed off at how they don't make consoles so portable anymore (small DSi/O3DS/N3DS aren't too bad size wise but they have shitty batteries)

Yeah, you need to disassemble and clean the L/R/Power buttons every some years, but not a huge deal

I love, loooooove my N3DS. I have a N3DS XL too, both dual IPS, but N3DS is my main squeeze.

Sold my top IPS bottom TN Yoshi green N3DSXL because I don't even really use my Zelda XL as it is...

I'm really digging how much excitement there is for the OG phatty.

I've been tempted to try a micro, but best I've seen is like $120 and thats still a lot for one imo. it looks cool but not sure about a 2.0" screen functionality wise, for longer than a few minutes or certain games.

Not missing SP at all?

i liked the sp the best, i had a blue one when i was little. but now i think maybe the original + backlight is the nicest thing

[Iamapirate]

I haven't played on the AGB and while I do think it would be more comfortable, I do like my SP having a top screen that isn't wedged between the buttons/my hands.

Gameboy player with GBI forcing 240p on a PVM (enough acronyms) is goddamn GLORIOUS!

I love my options

sp101, AGB101 and that
